The first few tracks of the audio CD does an excellent job of identifying all of the fears of public speaking, HOWEVER the majority of advice given in this book is theoretical. The book goes into stating the individual step (the theorectical help) then gives pseudo-testimonials of how her steps have been implemented by former students towards giving a great speech.There are seven primary steps, followed by several sub-steps. As you attempt to follow along you begin to forget what step you are on. I felt that the organization of the book was not effective and the advice given was based on theory. When it came down to it, there were only a few practical steps on getting over the fear. This book would be the equivalent to a book on Getting Rich which states "make wise investments that will only double your money" but neglecting to spell out what type of investments to make. I would not recommend this book as a way to overcome the fear of public speaking. Just my $0.02.

Yes, the 7 steps can teach people in all types of careers and lifestyles to improve their oral communications skills but some of her methods are a bit "out there". For example: learning to focus on your voice as an instrument. The CD includes examples and anecdotes from Wilder's own work, and a number of exercises to help the reader implement the ideas set forth. If you're looking to overcome your fear of public speaking, join Toastmasters and skip this CD.

I thought this had a lot of good theory in it. It's not full o fcliche's or tricks. It's a solid fundamental resource. Easy to listen to on the Audio or CD version.

great book
